“Heating tobacco” means a “tobacco product (except for electronic cigarettes or other similar material/cartridge/capsule containing nicotine) designed to be used only by heating.”

Tobacco inserts are included in the law’s definition of “tobacco product.” HTP devices are included in law’s definition of "tobacco accessories and devices.” Collectively, tobacco inserts and devices are heated tobacco products.

For the purpose of this review, we will be using the term “HTP” when referring to a “heated tobacco product.”
